We need to have a conversation about white women who marry Igbo men (or other African men) then completely absorb their entire culture even more than the people themselves so everyone can clap for them for being that special white woman who can speak the language and pound yam.
Meanwhile, these white women NEVER display any of their home culture or speak their own native language because it’s too boring.
All their time and energy is invested in performing their husband’s “unusual” culture and speaking his “unusual” language to get free public accolades

Nobody ever claps for Igbo people for speaking flawless English or French.
The hundreds of Igbo men and women married to white people are never applauded for speaking English or eating mashed potatoes.
But once a white woman says “Kedu” people are rolling at her feet in praise.

Madam you are from Sweden abi wetin.
All this time and we are not even benefiting anything from this cultural exchange.
We don’t even know how to say Kedu in Swedish abi wherever you are from because you never publicly speak your home language because nobody will clap for you.

Please how can your life plan be to build a whole platform and career off somebody else’s culture???
Is the culture you have at home too boring, too dry, to unremarkable or what, that you have to suck up someone else’s culture like a mosquito and wear it like a skin???

Cultural Vampirism.
